What Is the Biblical Role of an Evangelist? | Episode 269

About this sermon

For many Pentecostals, the word _evangelist_ brings to mind a traveling preacher holding revival services from church to church. But is that what the apostle Paul meant when he listed evangelists among the ministry gifts Christ gave to the church in Ephesians 4:11? In this episode of _Apostolic Life in the 21st Century,_ Dr. David K. Bernard examines the biblical role of the evangelist and explores how this important ministry functions within the church today. Dr. Bernard explains the New Testament purpose of evangelists, how their ministry differs from that of pastors and teachers, and why evangelists remain essential to the church’s mission of reaching the lost. He also addresses common assumptions about modern evangelistic ministry and offers practical insight into how churches can benefit from the ministry of evangelists. In this episode, you’ll learn: • What the Bible means by the term _evangelist_ • How evangelists fit into the fivefold ministry of Ephesians 4 • Whether evangelists are more than traveling revival preachers • The relationship between evangelists and local churches • How God continues to use evangelists to equip believers and reach the lost Whether you serve in ministry, are considering a call to evangelism, or simply want to better understand how God equips His church, this episode provides biblical insight and practical application. This episode is part of _Apostolic Life in the 21st Century,_ the podcast where Dr. David K. Bernard answers questions about Scripture, theology, Christian living, and current issues from an Apostolic Pentecostal perspective. 📧 Do you have a question you would like Dr. Bernard to answer on a future episode of _Apostolic Life in the 21st Century?_ Email your question to ask@upci.org for consideration. 📚 Visit https://pentecostalpublishing.com/collections/david-k-bernard to shop Dr. Bernard's full catalog of published works.
